operate  to  check,  rather  than  to  stimulate,  bond  securities,  as  a 
whole,  giving  them  a  political  rather  than  a  commercial  status, 
and  that  the  attempt  to  supply  a  new  use  for  railroad  bonds  by 
this  legislation  will  be  abortive,  ultimately  resulting  in  discrimi¬ 
nation  and  diminution  of  value.

general  suspension  of  banking  institutions.  He  states  that  it  is 
the  purpose  of  the  commission  to  present  a  plan  which,  without 
prejudice  to  existing  banking  interests,  v/ill  secure  for  this  coun¬

Note. — Special  attention  is  given  to  Canada’s  bank-note 
issue,  which,  unprotected  by  the  deposit  of  securities,  has,  in 
the  author’s  opinion,  proved  entirely  safe  and  has  given  Canadian 
currency  that  elasticity  which  is  so  much  to  be  desired.
